Country living at its best
By GIL AND NETANYA HOFFMAN, The Jerusalem Post

We were looking for a romantic getaway in the middle of nowhere with breathtaking views of nature. What we found was a rustic cottage with modern amenities....an oasis of solitude, peace and tranquility in the ancient town of Tzipori... in the heart of the Galilee... a good hub for day-trips around the scenic area.. ..

For religious guests, the kitchenettes are strictly kosher and are equipped with a hotplate for Shabbat, there is an eruv around the property and a synagogue a pleasant 25-minute walk away in the religious community of Hoshaya.

Guest houses, or so-called tzimmers (Yiddish for rooms) such as this are becoming more and more popular - with good reason. They are much more homey than a hotel, they are a better place to bring children or to spend time alone with your loved one and they are also much cheaper. The average tzimmer will run you about NIS 400 a night. The Tzipori Village guest house costs only NIS 330.
